I think we need to kill the sentiment that people lose their right to personhood once they do something bad enough

[vulturevanity]

I don't know who needs to hear this but you need to stop dehumanising people even if those people are "abusers" or "creeps" because you need to understand that you are not immune to doing something equally as bad

Abusers and creeps are not some species of especially heinous animal or alien or monster wearing the face of a human. They're people. And you NEED to drill it into your head that they are people because you NEED to remember that people are capable of doingn heinous shit. And you are a person. And your loved ones are people.

By emotionally classifying people who have done heinous things as subhuman filth incapable of thinking and feeling and acting just like you and me, and by using that emotional dehumanization as a reason to deny those people any compassion or support on a systemic level, you risk becoming blind to abuse/violence perpetrated by someone close to you or even yourself. Because if "abusers don't deserve rights", then you won't ever want to admit or accept that you or a loved one is perpetrating abuse, and that makes stopping the abuse or preventing further abuse much harder. This is how you end up excuaing abusive behaviour on the grounds that, since you don't see someone as a disgusting subhuman pile of garbage therefore they can't possibly be An Abuser, Trademark

[vulturevanity]

And here'a the even harder pill to swallow: since the world isn't split into "abusers" and "good people", in the same way you or someone you love can inflict abuse/violence on others, the people who HAVE inflicted abuse/violence on others can, in fact, change and become better people

There is no bottomless chasm of moral uncleanliness that someone can run off and fall into and get stuck in forever. People can do better. Yes, even those people. You HAVE to accept this. Otherwise not only is there no motivation for anyone to try and do better (which is when people become stuck in a cycle of violence and abuse they don't want to escape), but your idea of a perfect justice system doesn't look any different from Literal Christian Hell. And I HOPE you understand that Literal Christian Hell is, to put it very lightly, not a good justice system.

Unchecked and fear-driven dehumanization is the brick foundation for fascism.

Friendly reminder from your local victim of child sex trafficking that pedophiles ALSO apply to this and are in fact human beings. Human beings capable of extreme and horrific harm, but human beings all the same.

"Kill all pedophiles" rhetoric helps literally no one, and it ESPECIALLY does not help children in active sexual abuse situations! Because guess what, children who hear "Mommy will die if you tell anyone what she did" don't get help, they continue to be abused and keep silent!

No, you do not have to forgive them. No, you do not have to like them. Yes, you do have to acknowledge nuance in order to actually help the victims you claim to care about.

My mother was an artist, a wonderful cook, she kept a beautiful home. She also perpetuated the same cycle of abuse she was brought into onto me and my siblings. She also risked everything to get me out of it and paid the price. Human beings are complicated and cannot be split into a dichotomy of good vs bad.

their internal thoughts in that one scene:

david hollander: oh shit i wasn’t supposed to see that. i have invaded his space and seen something he didn’t want known. he was hiding away in the cabin with a man. because he wasn’t ready to come out yet. he didn’t want us to know and now i know. wait that’s rozanov! what the fuck is he doing with rozanov? oh no that felt judgy of me. hold on am i being homophobic right now? i’m intruding and it was a secret and - fuck i just outed my son. what if I just run. what if i signal that i didn’t see anything by simply dashing out the door. shane i promise i didn’t see anything. fuck yuna help i fucked it all up.

shane: oh man my dad’s not happy i’m gay.

ilya: oh fuck he saw me grab his ass.

i hate that diet culture means all the tasty drinks everywhere are loaded with stevia now. this isn't even a stance about health, I just think it tastes so fucking bad

[nabakovian]

i know people more eloquent than i am have said this but i can't ever get over what a revolutionary character trinity santos is. hyper-ambitious abrasive traumatized lesbian. adult who still self-harms. vaguely suicidal but chose to live anyway but doesn't know how to be alive. grieving. sexually abused as a child. in a toxic situationship with an equally abrasive sexy older surgeon. relentless advocate for her patients, especially the children. besties with her older traumatized suicidal boss and her formerly homeless coworker she took in off the street and her former child prodigy coworker who's just as abrasive as she is but just in a different way. secretly the kindest person on the planet. i could cry i love you so much trinity santos!!
